Chapter 161: A Jewelry Shop in Decline

The two of them walked into the inner room. It was different from the luxurious outside. The decorations inside were antique.

At a glance, the cabinets and tables were all made of mahogany.

This was not a fortune that the lady boss of a jewelry shop in decline could have.

Liu Meiniang suddenly approached Su Yan and whispered in her ear, “Princess Consort, what do you want to talk about?”

Su Yan uncomfortably took a step back and the two of them stood inside. Only then did she realize that Liu Meiniang was much taller than her.

Liu Meiniang did not care about Su Yan’s avoidance. She directly sat behind the table and motioned for Su Yan to sit as well.

After Su Yan sat down, she went straight to the point and said, “I have my eyes on your shop.”

Liu Meiniang smiled and said, “Could it be that Princess Consort wants to snatch it by force?”

Of course, Su Yan did not think so, but seeing that she did not have a trace of fear on her face, she had a wicked face and said, “If I want to snatch it, what about you?”

The smile on Liu Meiniang’s face did not change, but there was a trace of coldness in her eyes. She said, “Then it depends on whether Princess Consort has the ability or not.”

Su Yan directly said, “I’m joking. I want to cooperate with you.”

This piqued Liu Meiniang’s interest.

Su Yan told the other party in detail, but of course, she did not finish. Just the beginning had already made her change her opinion of Su Yan.

Su Yan looked at her with sparkling eyes after she finished speaking.

Liu Meiniang smiled and said, “It’s a pleasure to cooperate.”

Su Yan’s expression brightened, and the two of them agreed to cooperate.

After Su Yan left, a man in white appeared beside Liu Meiniang and asked, “Master, why would you want to get involved with Princess Consort Guang Pingwang?”

The man was completely wrapped in a white cloth and his face could not be seen clearly. However, one could still feel a strong sense of worry from his body.

Guang Pingwang was not someone to be trifled with.

Liu Meiniang chuckled without a trace of worry and said, “Princess Consort took the initiative to look for me. What has it got to do with me?”

Su Yan returned to Guang Residence and added a stroke on the drawing that she had drawn on the day before.

Looking at the nine dots that were already connected, she smiled in satisfaction.

She thought of something and ordered, “Chu Tao, send someone to buy Qicao Pawnshop.”

Chu Tao took the order and left. Chun Xia came to Su Yan’s side to wait on her.

Chun Xia had not been close to Su Yan for a long time. She pouted with some grievance.

Su Yan knew what she was thinking at a glance. She smiled and said, “After this period, I’ll take you out to play.”

Chun Xia’s expression instantly turned from dark to bright. She smiled and said that Su Yan was really nice.

Chu Tao returned very quickly and said that the matter had been settled.

Su Yan nodded and continued to look at her dowry.

After looking at it for the past few days, she realized that Madam Su did not leave her many fixed assets. Instead, she left her many shops and things that could make money.

This was also very much like Madam Su. As her daughter, how could she not do business?

The dowry list was too long. Su Yan looked at it for an entire day before she finally saw the end. When she saw that there was a granary on the dowry list, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

This was really the first time she had seen a granary used as a dowry.

If she remembered this in her heart, she might be able to use it at any time.

Looking at the sky, it was already very late. She rubbed her sore glabella and prepared to rest.

An Yi suddenly knocked on the door. Su Yan did not understand.

When she walked out and saw the dirty Jin Tong behind him, Su Yan understood.

Jin Tong was no longer her exquisite and perfect appearance. Her entire face was covered in dirt, and there was a black ash on her face.

It looked a little ridiculous, but it was much cuter than her previous high and mighty appearance.

Jin Tong pulled An Yi’s sleeve and hid behind him as she greeted her.

Su Yan asked, “What’s going on?”

An Yi, who had never taken the initiative to speak, could not help but say, “This woman nearly starved herself to death.”
